libby. to get. a little. hello mr prime minister and welcome to the program hello what do iraq and russia have in common in terms of their approach to the syrian crisis and you think the two countries can come up with a joint proposal on how to sell it but of course the crisis is a matter of serious concern both for the countries in the region and for the world's major powers and it's not only countries this issue has been on the agenda for many international organizations but we have repeatedly said that we take the

syrian crisis as our own problem it is a very important country with its own political position we did warn everyone earlier and keep in mind that the fire the start and syria spill over the borders to engulf other countries that the region could find in the end will cover global impact the middle east is one of the major energy producers of the world just like russia we believe that the use of force cannot be a solution to the crisis many other countries now share this approach even those that used to think that supplying arms to the opposition would be sufficient to generate regime change and they recognize that it is impossible to settle the city increase your use of force this is also russia's position russia has iraq and many other countries are united in their conviction that force will not end the crisis we need to look for a peaceful solution to the political dialogue that is our joint task i mean iraq russia and the whole international community want to help both sides find common ground to agree on a mutually acceptable form of government this new government must be based on the

principles of freedom and democracy citizens must have the right to vote they must have a constitution these are the things that the syrian people did when they started the revolution but of course not everybody in city agrees with those demands but some groups don't think that reforms are needed we've heard different statements and demands of course dialogue will continue because we are very much concerned about what's going on in syria we have been seriously affected by the situation in the country we have experienced some spillover effects of the. crisis here in iraq we will discuss this issue with their russian counterparts talk about a possible way to be distinguished as a more effective including the original peace plan put forward by the i believe as opposed to the flawed proposals made during the sessions of the ministerial committee on the geneva agreement according to them there is no military solution to the conflict the agreements call for an end to arms supplies both to the opposition and the regime and unfortunately a number of states ignore these initiatives and continue to send arms to syria which only makes the situation worse this is where russia iraq china and many was

the one out of countries in the region agree it is or judy to address this issue and try to find ways out of this term which we are afraid of might turn out a fully fledged regional war. but how would you assess the calls by some countries especially arab countries that have the support of the west for military intervention in order to resolve the crisis in syria. well i give him a piece of brotherly advice but forget it he was starts a fire will be destroyed by the fire in the end those who want syria to follow this path have to understand that it will destroy the syrian people that is what's happening in syria right now cities line rules the war rages on and is likely to spill over involving new actors in the international always you know what religious and political ones if the kid about themselves and their people if they see stability and security if the kid of a city and his people have to stop sowing the seeds of discord i said lying arms but they also have to stop thinking it will be them who will see

a serious future i met several representatives of the syrian opposition and i felt the understand the threat that is coming from the i don't force us to provide them with weapons these forces openly declare that they want to interfere in cities affairs of the city and nation is against it do you share the view that it's foreign interference in syria's affairs that's made the situation in the country so dangerous that i'm still looking off and they will keep driving it to an even more dangerous to greet until eventually it will backfire and the states that are now sponsoring the syrian opposition all these states will face up peoples and i'm raised due to sectarian violence and foreign interference the spillover effect and expansion of their already feeling about if these countries keep sending arms and using force for a change in regime their stability will be in jeopardy and the situation inside these countries will be not much better than in syria what do you think about the national partnership government is this the best form of governance to help to move iraq forward or are there any negative aspects that make that governance less

effective and what do you think of the majority government something many other countries rely on that a. partnership government has exhausted both its capacity and agenda it was necessary previous stages but not any longer right now everyone even the people of iraq feel that the regime of national partnership keeps our hands tied penders or development stands in the way of the breakthrough that what iraq could make in the development of infrastructure. services sector economic recovery we hear more and more voices now in our society and in parliament are calling for a shift to majority government to make parliament united can pass decisions and laws they would help to rule because right now the government that's paralyzed it can't do anything partnership originally built to pursue a major breakthrough has now degraded to a partnership the generates obstacles because of that we need a majority government and i am working hard to make it a reality both iraqi government and its citizens still suffer from regular terrorist attacks who's behind the violence international players interfering in

your affairs or al-qaeda militants opposing the political process or are there any other reasons that the iraqi people are not aware of why is it so hard to take out these armed groups that are still out there and with. a show. done for the violence continues and has been down to all the factors you have mentioned foreign intervention is fully underway what they want to do is to use these acts of violence to prepare for the next pool city and stage is the same states that are known to feel in syria they are sending arms and militants there over and over again their goal is to change syria then iraq and ultimately the entire region also al qaeda as well they came to life again regrettably out of her as part of the arab spring that flooded the streets and the albums of egypt yemen and slogans groups and terrorist attacks are clear signs of its revival and iraq could not escape and those states that are interfering with either but the really embarrassing thing is that the national partnership government cannot be effective in the fight against terrorists and that's a problem when your partner supports both security measures on terrorist acts you

get problems so i would like to go into detail man i am only saying that this is one of the dian say as to the national partnership moving how can we expect security agencies to control the situation when the government's own arms money transport on the nature of the government are used to support those seeking to cut their terrorist attacks. mr really key when iraq was about to buy f six. fighter jet iraqi kurds along with some other neighboring states including the gulf countries voiced their concerns over the future deal are these concerns justified and can they be allayed they are totally unsubstantiated these people may still have old stereotypes of iraq the go back to the times of dictatorship there were kind of tries by reckless operations wars and invasions some regimes big and small still have expansionist ambitions but they have learned no lessons from saddam hussein's experience he had it all troops and offensive capabilities that the end of his career was a disaster these people still believe that just like in the past iraq is still

capable of meeting its neighbors concocting conspiracy to attacking other countries like iran who wait and saudi arabia or slaughtering people in its southern northern regions but today iraq is a different country it does not wage war on its own people the kurds who believe that iraq is taking up arms to fight them are seriously deluded these talks are no more than political maneuvering used to make out for the mistakes and failures of the past these countries are aware that present day iraq has nothing in common with the dictatorships of the past it is a democratic country of which is against the use of force are set forth in the laws adopted by a parliament generally speaking army in principle is non interference in the fears of other states but we would like this to be a two way street but the reality is that iraq is located in an arms infested region all the neighboring states have impressive arsenals of modern weapons and even the smaller states in that region have more weapons than iraq a large state with a rich history would be an appeal for iraq as entitle to self defense and has the right to use different armaments to protect their sovereignty and so they can have the same weapons as other countries who claim they need to see weapons or as iraq

to defend their sovereignty i would later earlier concerns by saying that iraq is not interested in offensive weapons only defensive ones and indeed we would later have very strong defensive weapons to repel any attack on iraq sovereignty that primitive weapons aren't enough what we need something very strong and absolutely sophisticated to counter any possible aggression this would make anyone who plans to breach or some. think twice before attacking the rug mr prime minister as commander in chief when do you expect iraq armed forces to reach combat readiness in terms of the size of personnel and materials we already have the number of troops that we need but we are still working on the list of weapons and hardware we are receiving weapons supplies from the us former soviet nations and possibly from russia too in line with the contracts that we signed earlier however we expect to ensure maximum defensive capabilities by twenty twenty according to the plans we have at the moment there are time we expect to reequip the armed forces with powerful weapons to protect iraq alarms and in the air so currently we will still

be able to defend the nation but our capabilities need to be maintained and further improved thank you. you're just laughing enough and knows that to ride a horse you've got to catch it first. for him it's a daily routine that just offers a horse breeder on the island of bohol and at the heart of. his life on an isolated farm is about blue sky green grass and his horse is what they're sometimes it gets lonely here but horses have become part of me now i've fallen off so many times

sometimes they'd bite as well it's part of my everyday life. i holmes been home to a rats local just laugh for centuries most still live off the land cattle and fish every evening local villagers place their nets and in the morning to catch. we always have enough here. if by call is often called the pearl of siberia and i said to be the pearl of by. it's a lend of think forests. and vast steps. it's also a place of traditions respected by locals and travelers alike. an

a journey to buy coal can be unique trip of a lifetime and the locals say once you've seen it you'll be coming back again and again the. question is that so much as i can recall. when it comes to baby been defamed the first direct encounter between president obama and republican challenger mitt romney left the incumbent looking like road kill. clint.

i've. relied.

on a. little. luck . eliza's on t.v. and a wave of antiwar protesting gulfs with activist accusing. u.s. . military action against syria. military aims to balance its books. of soldiers while still throwing billions of malfunctioning military machine. plus fourteen years of textbooks socialism up put to the test in venezuela as hundreds of thousands fled the capital in support of both chavez just ahead of sunday's election. with all the sporting action.

that welcome to the sports and these are the headlines european dreams and you lefties scores the second half braces and g.b. young boys to kneel in moscow from a number eight and in the. parties and show you rubin score either side of the interval to beat belgrade nearly is and in a group agent cantor. and driving forward to rack up their six win in a row with a six mil thrashing of novices nets in the k h l. let's start there with the europa league where there have been good wins for russian sides and g. and rubin and g.b. swiss side young boys to no moscow summit that is penalty breaking the deadlock midway through the second half and he wrapped up the game with a second strike in stoppage time and group under joined on four point. three

two when liverpool. mean more whiling group through being got it so you know when part is and belgrade got the nice guy the knees and alexander on target for them it puts them level on points with a dismal crew chief three one and as. well it goes they've also been flying in the cage. sixth when with the six north rushing of metal. and instrumental strike tools look at signing on the record sits in from the national pride it is his long pass. for the first early on and then. got a brace of goals and self in the second period to give his side a come to premier league but the nightmare of the message was far from over go for the sport. stanislav chief of police the other goalie michael garnett had a thirty nine saves. to other leading saying in. at the moment and sit on top of

the eastern conference games in hand. while in other games powered outside scored his first to go out of the season is to. act to one and over time nick like lumen got the key to go and that's a magnet of course. to one another so best. and the second successive defeat. that one finished thank our nice to time a limp a pentathlon champion and i must say it has become russia's can take a coach's hoped he can base the head of the rio olympics after their shock failure to find a podium in london constant to top off as more. russia had been the dominant nation in men's been powerful and over the bars the cage they arrived at the london games as a red hot favorite having two time olympic champions and the me see if it world number one in the rankings aleksandr to soon on the issue however they seem to have

left their talent on the plane this squad failing to even reach that burden once in the english capital problem is we had the best men's team in the sport and fields after analyzing the results over per form and we understood that our pentathlete were not as fit as they should have been added to that our preparation system was out of date but one cannot criticize this board chief for not taking immediate action every single national team coach was sicked well thirty three year old me see if we turn out from this board to be appointed russia's caretaker head last week. one of which i took a little break after the games but didn't announce that i quit the sport also all the offer to become head coach pushed me to retire for good it was a pleasant surprise i really wanted to stay in the sport in some capacity but. spend more than a decade in the sport and is widely regarded as the right person to give up on a shot in the arm and lead the nation to go. called at the next olympics in rio

just like you and you also have achieved a lot in the sport and now that i've stepped aside i see some things that should be improved i want to transfer my experience to younger pentathlete i know everyone in the national squad very well and i hope i can be useful to the team can be addition within the russian team is still very high despite my cvs return it is the side with noted heavyweights in the sport that well ahead of the next games in brazil russian been tafel it's going expect to hear some good news later assurance albert the second of monaco is honorary president of the modern pentathlon international federation and he supports the idea of increasing the number of medals the olympics so we hope the i.o.c. will approve it and in rio there will be more pin tavon disciplines. russia's been tough one team used to be compared with football side essentially a dream team at times impossible to beat however even the spanish german states

defeat from time to time getting back on the winning trick as soon as possible is that first priority for the country's pentathlete well dancing to the somebody in celebration in twenty sixteen is of course me and again constantine archie. news how sri lanka are the thirteen through to the final of cricket's world twenty twenty they beat pakistan by sixteen runs in colombo sri lanka won the toss and elected to bat first but they made a slow start and won skipper mahela jayawardene was out for forty to ensure lanka had made just sixty three in the eleventh over more wickets fell regularly call missing a car it was at eighteen and the host eventually finished on one hundred thirty nine for four after this area and andrew matheny's twenty one off the last two wives so a modest title for pakistan to chase but the turning point came when the have it for years was stumped with the score ninety one or fourteen overs and then with the very next jade afridi was all for gold and pakistan. and couldn't recover from that

and were restricted to one hundred twenty three for seven in the end winning by sixteen runs to book their place in the final. really really proud of the boys we had a great support now they're. shouting at us on the field it was fantastic feeling sure i think we're a proud nation proud pretty nation and you know everyone will be behind us. on the pitch like that we we we actually want to get back but because you know on the pitch like there is turning and you know it was difficult to school runs i think it was not difficult to be good but unfortunately we lost some to get in the middle order. of reason i think we couldn't you know come back in to decide it into the game but still i believe you know what it should have been cheers but unfortunately we didn't do that well in the final sri lanka will face either a stray or the west indies they play each other on friday the aussie suffered a huge thirty two run defeat to pakistan and their last game in the super eights

but captain george bailey says that was a blip and one dentist team's confidence going into the semi's. i don't mean you need to do too much in terms of getting boys momentum confidence up for walk ups i mean. certainly our message is brain that from now on no more second chances we go out and we play the cricket we want to play that was probably the thing from the other not we're a little bit tentative as our brother says go out caution to the wind play the way we can apply and if it's not good enough. elsewhere sebastian says this weekend's rally de france will be long and difficult as he needs to finish ahead of citron team and to seal a ninth drive this title alone currently leads the draw the standings by sixty one points and says he would love to win the title in his home country as he did two years ago however after thursday's first stages her villainize the edge he was fifth to surround the streets of strasburg with lower back in seven belgian movil

was quick. around the three and a half kilometer rate the drivers were tackle another seven stages on friday and the weather could play a big. long. here and it's going to be really tricky if it's raining in the city. i would have to be very concentrated trying to. work to try to. i know it's possible. to do but. for me the one it's the japan grand prix this weekend and it will be the last time michael schumacher races around this is in the seven time world champion and i'm saying he's to retire at the end of the season and say these announced last week that schumacher would be replaced by lewis hamilton next season though there have been speculation the forty three year old german could be used to say he has now said he will finally give up racing to the no one no one is one more championship title. who initially retired in two thousand and six but came back to

race with miss eighty's in twenty ten however since one. decided to retire by the end of the year. although i'm still able and capable to compete with the best drivers around but at some point. it's good to say goodbye and that's what i'm doing here with by the end of the season. and it might even be forever. and we will end with golf because ryan moore has a one stroke lead in the first event of the p.g.a. tour's four series he called the course record of sixty one of the t.p.c. in. the first round of the justin timberlake shriners hospital for children open just behind him is brendan jones. so that's all the support for them i would like to.
